The Junction Co., a not-for-profit arts organisation fostering creativity.
Fostering artistic expression and community engagement, driving cultural growth and innovation across the Pilbara and beyond.
At The Junction Co., we are dedicated to fostering meaningful connections within the community. Through engaging events, workshops, and activities, we create spaces where individuals can connect, share ideas, and inspire one another. Portside, the vibrant heart of the West End in Port Hedland, serves as a gateway to the town, hosting diverse businesses and fostering a sense of belonging. By enhancing its visual appeal and hosting a variety of engaging events, we ensure Portside remains a welcoming destination for creative expression and cultural exchange, enriching the cultural landscape and fostering a strong sense of community among residents and visitors alike.
In partnership with the City of Karratha, The Junction Co. is committed to growing the regional creative industries through the Arts Exhibition Program at the Red Earth Arts Precinct (REAP). By curating and managing exhibitions, hosting professional development workshops, and fostering creative collaborations, we aim to elevate and support regional arts. This partnership enhances the visibility and opportunities for local artists, ensuring their talents are showcased and celebrated, thereby driving cultural growth and innovation in the region.
The Courthouse Gallery+Studio is dedicated to supporting local creatives and building capacity within the community. By offering dedicated studio spaces, hosting workshops and training programs, and bringing in industry experts, the Gallery nurtures the growth and development of artists. These initiatives empower local artists, elevate their profiles, and create opportunities for professional growth and creative collaborations. Through mentorship and professional development, The Courthouse Gallery fosters a vibrant and dynamic arts community, ensuring creativity and artistic expression thrive in Port Hedland.
The Junction Co. is proud to partner with organisations that seek to engage, grow and empower regional creatives.
As the leaders of numerous creative spaces, we manage the Courthouse Gallery+Studio on behalf of the Town of Port Hedland, the Red Earth Arts Precinct Exhibition Program on behalf of the City of Karratha, Portside Precinct Place Activation on behalf of the Portside Town Team, The Jury Art Prize and more, providing a raft of creative programs, workshops, exhibitions and events throughout the Pilbara community. Our dedication to place activation and community engagement ensures that each space thrives as a centre for creativity, connection, and cultural expression.
The Junction Co. receives support from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries through the Regional Arts Sector Investment Program (RASI) and Regional Arts WA.
An exciting new project for The Junction Co. has been negotiated with the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) and project sponsor The Metal Manufactures Group (MM), an Australian-based business that supplies electrical products, copper tube and fittings, and specialty plastics, primarily across Australia and New Zealand. This project provides the Courthouse Gallery+Studio, via The Junction Co., the opportunity to access and share works of art held in the State Art Collection.
